Description#
The PostgreSQL server is not configured to enable ‘connection_throttling’, which means logging for connection throttling events is disabled. This reduces visibility into potential connection contention or abuse scenarios.
Impact#
Without connection throttling logs, diagnosing connection-related issues and detecting abnormal access patterns becomes difficult. This can hinder incident response, delay troubleshooting, and potentially allow attackers or misconfigured applications to exhaust database resources undetected.
Resolution#
Enable connection throttling logging
